St. Timothy Catholic Church (Los Angeles)
The church is located at 10425 West Pico Boulevard in the Rancho Park neighborhood on the westside of Los Angeles, California.The parish of St. Timothy was created in 1943 to serve the Rancho Park and Cheviot Hills sections of Los Angeles.[1] When the altarpiece was displayed to the public in April 1945, the Los Angeles Times wrote:"[T]he elaborately carved gold-leafed 23-foot altar was built in Spain or Mexico more than 300 years ago.The statues had appeared in the 1946 motion picture, The Jolson Story, in a scene set at "St. Mary's Home for Boys."[6] The parish was the home to many artisans from the MGM and Fox studios, and these parishioners were responsible for creating some of the church's decorative features.[1] These feature include the ornate gold-plated tabernacle, which was designed and fabricated by craftsmen at the special effects department of MGM Studios.
